Explain the difference between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.

Biology
1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The bacteriostatic antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which prevents the growth of bacteria. These keeps the growth of bacteria in the stationary phase so that bacteria cannot cause harm to the host.

The bactericidal antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which kills the bacteria.

The example of bacteriostatic antibiotic is Tetracycline  that it inhibit the bacteria ribosome production of proteins. This way bacterial growth and reproduction will get restricted.

The example of bacteriocidal antibiotic is polymyxin B. It causes injuries to the plasma membrane of the bacteria which can be lethal for bacteria.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Fire Is A Non-Living Thing.

Explanation:

People sometimes think fire is living because it consumes and uses energy, requires oxygen, and moves through the environment. Fire is actually non-living. The reason fire is non-living is because it does not have the eight characteristics of life. Also, fire is not made of cells.

Which of these blood samples most likely came from the left ventricle?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Sample A most likely came from the left ventricle, as this is the portion of the heart that receives freshly oxygenated blood to be pumped to different parts of the body. Oxygenated blood is blood that has had oxygen bounded to it by hemoglobin (a pigment made of iron found in red blood cells). The oxidation of this blood by the iron in the hemoglobin gives it the RBC bright red look. This blood containing the bright RBCs in transported to the left ventricle from the lung, after which it is spread throughout the body. Hence, in normal conditions of the heart, the Sample A most likely came from the left ventricle.

What are the factors that contributed to the success of pteridophyte as land plant
Anna35 [415]

Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.

Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.

Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.
